Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvement in a cooling structure of a urea aqueous solution pipe.
  • an exhaust gas aftertreatment device desirably includes a reduction-causing catalyst that purifies nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas in addition to the DPF.
  • the urea aqueous solution accumulated in the tank is pumped to the injector through a urea aqueous solution pipe. Since such a urea aqueous solution pipe is installed in an engine compartment, the urea aqueous solution may be deteriorated by thermal influence from the engine. Particularly, in some working vehicles, an inside of an exterior cover is divided into an engine compartment and a heat exchanger compartment in which a radiator and the like are arranged. In such a case, a cooling air supplied from a cooling fan to the radiator and the like does not flow into the engine compartment. Consequently, a temperature of the engine compartment is further significantly increased, whereby acceleration of deterioration is concerned.
  • Patent Literature 1 JP-A-2011-214580
  • An object of the invention is to provide a cooling structure of a urea aqueous solution pipe producible at a reduced cost and capable of reliably suppressing deterioration of a urea aqueous solution and preventing noise to the environment.
  • the cooling structure includes: a pipeline-forming member provided in the engine compartment and including a pipeline in which the urea aqueous solution pipe is arranged, in which the cooling air sucked by the cooling fan flows in the pipeline.
  • the cooling structure includes: a pipeline-forming member provided in the engine compartment and including a pipeline in which the urea aqueous solution pipe is arranged, in which insulation space is juxtaposed with the pipeline-forming member, and cooling air sucked by the cooling fan flows in at least one of the pipeline and the insulation space.
  • the pipeline-forming member is close to or in contact with an inside of an exterior cover with which the engine compartment is covered, and the exterior cover includes an air intake hole through which the pipeline intercommunicates with an outside of the engine compartment.
  • a portion of the exterior cover under which the pipe line-forming member is positioned is detachable from the rest of the exterior cover, and the pipeline-forming member is attached to the rest of the exterior cover.
  • the pipeline-forming member is provided in the engine compartment and the urea aqueous solution pipe is arranged in the pipeline of the pipeline-forming member while the cooling air flows in the pipeline. Accordingly, without using typical complicated device and structure, the urea aqueous solution pipe can be effectively cooled, whereby deterioration of the urea aqueous solution is reliably suppressible at a low production cost. Moreover, since an air intake hole having a large opening area for intercommunication between the engine compartment and the outside is not necessary, noise to the environment is also reducible.
  • the pipeline-forming member has the insulation space in addition to the structure of the first aspect of the invention. Accordingly, by flowing the cooling air into the insulation space and/or the pipeline, the same effects as those in the first aspect of the invention is obtainable to achieve an object of the invention.

  • the engine compartment 4 and a heat exchanger compartment 5 which are covered with an exterior cover 3 are juxtaposed in a front-rear direction.
  • the engine compartment 4 and the heat exchanger compartment 5 are separated from each other by a first partitioning wall 6 .
  • the first partitioning wall 6 vertically separates the engine compartment 4 from the heat exchanger compartment 5 .
  • a periphery of the first partitioning wall 6 is close to or in contact with an inner surface of the exterior cover 3 .

  • the side cover 31 has a first side cover 34 in front of the first partitioning wall 6 and a second side cover 35 behind the first partitioning wall 6 .
  • the hood 33 has a first upper cover 36 with which a front portion of the engine compartment 4 is covered, a second upper cover 37 with which a rear portion of the engine compartment 4 is covered, and a third upper cover 38 with which the entire heat exchanger compartment 5 is covered.
  • the first to third upper covers 36 to 38 are detachably attached to the side cover 31 , the front cover 32 and the like by an appropriate fastening means (e.g., a bolt).
  • the engine compartment 4 houses: an engine (not shown) mounted on the rear frame 2 ; an exhaust turbocharger 41 , an EGR device, and an exhaust gas aftertreatment device 42 which are installed in the engine, pipes of these components and other auxiliary devices.

  • the exhaust gas aftertreatment device 42 is disposed in a space in front of the second partitioning wall 7 while the other devices including the exhaust turbocharger 41 are disposed in a space behind the second partitioning wall 7 .
  • the heat exchanger compartment 5 houses a radiator 51 that cools an engine cooling water, an after-cooler 52 that cools intake air (supplied air) supercharged by the exhaust turbocharger 41 , a fan shroud 53 ( FIG. 3 ) disposed behind the radiator 51 , an electric or hydraulic cooling fan 54 ( FIG. 3 ) that is rotated with a part partially projecting beyond the fan shroud 53 , and pipes of the components 51 to 54 .
  • a capacitor for an air conditioner which is to be provided in the cab, may be provided in the heat exchanger compartment 5 .
  • a rectangular frame plate 55 in a planar view is provided over the heat exchanger compartment 5 .
  • the third upper cover 38 is attached over the frame plate 55 .

  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the ventilation structure of the engine compartment 4 .
  • FIG. 2 also shows a cooling structure of the urea aqueous solution pipe 47 connected to the exhaust gas aftertreatment device 42 .
  • the exhaust gas aftertreatment device 42 includes: a pair of DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) devices 43 , 43 disposed on both right and left sides of the front section of the engine compartment 4 ; and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) devices 44 , 44 juxtaposed in a right-left direction between the DPF devices 43 , 43 .
  • DPF Diesel Particulate Filter
  • SCR Selective Catalytic Reduction
  • An exhaust pipe connected to a turbine outlet of the exhaust turbocharger 41 is laid to a side of the engine compartment 4 to extend near the front of the engine, where an end of the exhaust pipe is bifurcated.
  • a first portion of the bifurcated exhaust pipe is connected to a front portion of the DPF device 43 disposed to the left of the engine compartment 4 .
